This shot was taken June 18th here in Lincoln Park, Chicago, IL. A monster storm came through and for the first time ever, blew out some of the windows on the Sears tower (not in the picture, but it's off to the right).

This picture was taken from the edge of Lake Michigan near the Shedd Aquarium, S. Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, Illinois. The exposure was at f/1.4 for 45 seconds at ISO 100 to avoid noise. Thanks for your votes.

About 2 hours before I took this I got a bit aggressive on a shot on the beach and soaked my shoes, socks, and pants. It was around 25 degrees Fahrenheit. My pants froze solid and I had to break them free when I walked to another spot. Taken from the beach wall just south of Fullerton.
